Somewhere there\u2019s sanity.<\/p>\n

The market is exploding. The war is imploding. The new $6 billion bridge is shuttered. And then there\u2019s the algae.<\/p>\n

The algae. Blue reflects heat, making it hotter. Perfect for algae.<\/p>\n

Intel is going to make chips for Apple. But Apple hasn\u2019t said it wants them. And Intel can\u2019t make them. But Trump and his Administration have Intel stock (up 10.6%<\/strong><\/span> today) , like he has stock in the company that ran the cage fight.<\/p>\n

Our local Chatham, NY coffee shop, Fiesta, is booming. Their California Tacos are out of this world.<\/p>\n

I don’t have a library or a golden arch. But Fiesta has made me famous by enshrining \u201cHarry\u2019s Grilled Cheese with tomato and avocados sandwich\u201d<\/em> on their Square terminal. One button push. It’s AI incarnate. Small help to my ego. Delicious sandwich.<\/p>\n

Doing stupid is suddenly the rage, as people text their friends and crash head-on into fellow travelers. Or fall backwards. Falling down stairs forwards is now pass\u00e9.<\/p>\n

All this can put you in a giant funk. Better is to marvel at the petty grift. It took only a miserable $1 million to get Trump to close the brand new competing bridge for reasons that give new meaning to \u201cIf I only had the imagination.\u201d See below for more.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not laughing all the way to the bank. Except on occasional days — like today.<\/p>\n

Today celebrated the end of the war that didn’t end. Tomorrow we\u2019ll be throwing all my stratospheric stocks out with the bathwater. Tonight I’ll be happy.<\/p>\n

SpaceX is up and down like a whore\u2019s drawers. That\u2019s an Australian expression. By all sane metrics, it’s vastly overpriced. I was instructed to hold my miserable 100 share allocation for my great-great-grandchildren, when they will be happily living on Mars — newly cleaned up \u2013 thank you, Elon — of homeless aliens. (Humans?)<\/p>\n

In every morass there is a shiny star. Or something like that. Behold: An entrepreneurial opportunity:<\/p>\n

Thank you Perplexity for your help in creating this. Send me $5 and I’ll send you a bottle. Maybe.<\/p>\n

The bridge<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s Gemini’s take on it:<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump is blocking the opening of the newly completed Gordie Howe International Bridge<\/a><\/span> between Detroit, Michigan, and Windsor, Ontario. Although Canada fully funded the $6.4 billion CAD project, Trump intervened to delay a scheduled ribbon-cutting ceremony, demanding a U.S. ownership stake and trade concessions on alcohol and dairy before allowing it to open.<\/p>\n

\n
The bridge is a massive infrastructure project spanning the Detroit River, designed to relieve immense congestion on the nearby Ambassador Bridge, which handles a quarter of all Canada-U.S. trade. Construction on the Gordie Howe Bridge is finished, and it was originally expected to be a celebrated milestone of cross-border collaboration. ..<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The delay of the bridge has been widely described by outlets as a “Bridgegate” controversy. This is due to reports that a Michigan billionaire, Matthew Moroun\u2014whose family owns the privately run Ambassador Bridge and has long lobbied against the new public crossing to protect their near-monopoly\u2014donated heavily to a Trump-aligned super PAC and held private meetings with administration officials right before Trump changed his stance on the project.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s the new, unopened bridge, which Canada paid for, but Trump is keeping closed. This is one gorgeous bridge.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The opening of the bridge remains “paused” (that’s the fashionable word) while the U.S. and Canada attempt to iron out political disagreements and trade negotiations.<\/span><\/p>\n

I don’t make this stuff up.<\/p>\n

See tomorrow. —Harry Newton<\/em><\/p>\n
